Dan Martin officially ended his professional cycling career at the end of the 2021 season, after a successful 14-year run. He chose to retire because racing had lost the joy it once brought him, and he wanted to be more present for his family and pursue other interests.
Imagine stepping away from a career you’ve lived and breathed for over a decade — that’s exactly what Dan Martin did. He retired in 2021 because the passion that fueled the peloton was dwindling. He missed normal moments like running with his wife or being there for his twin daughters. So he made a bold but authentic decision: keep loving cycling, just without the pressure of competition.

"You’re a Kane, Daniels. You’re property, not a person."
For ten years, those were the only words I heard from the Moretti triplets. As the daughter of disgraced junkies, I was the resident "Charity Case" at the Moretti Family Estate, forced to scrub floors while the three heirs to a billionaire high-tech empire ruled the Blackridge underworld. Nickie, Matteo, and Luca were my tormentors—cruel, breathtaking, and untouchable.
Then I turned eighteen.
My Noir identity synced, my neural-links flared to life, and the air grew thick with a scent that made my blood boil: Them. In the Biker Mafia world, data doesn't lie, and the code says I belong to all three. Now, the brothers who once dragged me through the dirt are trading their cruelty for a dark, possessive hunger. They’ve cleared their beds and their calendars, determined to claim their match.
Genre: Dark Biker Mafia Romance / Contemporary Billionaire

When I went to the hospital for a checkup to see if my fourth IVF attempt had succeeded, I saw Daniel Cooper, who was supposed to be on a business trip.
He was carefully supporting a young, beautiful woman as they walked out of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Her belly was unmistakably round, and she looked like she was ready to give birth at any moment.
Daniel froze for just a second before stepping in front of her, shielding her from me.
He explained, "Abby, the Cooper family needs an heir to carry on the lineage. Once the baby is born, everything will go back to the way it was."
I heard the certainty in his words. So I smiled, nodded, and quietly tucked my test results away as he stared at me in surprise.
On the day she gave birth, I left the divorce papers on the kitchen table and walked out of his life for good.
He left four years ago to build himself into being the man he knew she deserved. He left her shattered and abandoned, however when he comes back, he wasn't ready for how much of a bold and sexy woman she had transformed too, and he certainly wasn't ready for the seductions.
I came back to life the day Cedric Gramont got drugged. This time? I didn't offer my body to him. I called his so-called soulmate instead.
In my last life, I stupidly fell for the uncle who wasn't blood-related.
When I found out he'd been hit with something strong, I ignored his plea to call Elyna Humbert—and "helped" him myself.
A month later, I was pregnant.
He had to marry me. On our wedding day, Elyna, who'd gone abroad to "clear her head," got kidnapped and killed.
Before she died, she called Cedric 199 times, begging for help.
He didn't pick up once. Too busy sealing the deal with me.
Later, he just stared at those missed calls, not saying a word.
Then the day I went into labor, he locked me in the basement.
I begged him to take me to the hospital. He just smiled, cold and empty, and watched me die screaming, the baby still inside me.
Last thing I heard? "If you hadn't gotten pregnant, I wouldn't have married you. I wouldn't have missed Elyna's calls. You deserved to die."
When I opened my eyes again, it was that same day—Cedric was drugged, but this time, I knew better.
"If I knew I would lose all of it, I would have let you go from the beginning."
Those were the last words Nadine said before collapsing from falling down the stairs.
"If you had never been in my life, you wouldn't have lost it all."
And the last thing she remembered was the cold face of her husband, who was disgusted to see her. Nadine thought it was the end of her life. And when she opened her eyes hell would await her.
"Wait.. Why is it so comfortable in hell? And why is it similar to my room?"
When Nadine opened her eyes she didn't feel any pain in her head and she was still wearing her nightdress. The sound of her mobile phone alarm made her startled. And what surprised her most, she found out the date on her phone. She returned three years ago. More precisely, one day before her wedding day with her husband. In disbelief, he circled her house, asking the servant what date it was. But they have the same answer.
"God... Must be joking! Ha ha ha... For all day...."
She laughed frantically.
"If You want me to pay for my sin, choose before I've forced him to marry me."
She bit her nail nervously and began to think.
"I separated him from his lover once to marry me. Make an innocent man become a cheater and a despicable husband. Kill our unborn baby to get his attention. And end my life in misery. Now I have a second chance. I have to fix everything. Everything.... Maybe he and my unborn baby will forgive me and I won't die young."
How can Nadine fix this mess? Can she get her husband's forgiveness? Or will she end up losing everything like before?
